Oops, wrong game

Well, I picked the wrong game to take the family to — Morris didn’t leave any room for excitement. The last two years that I’ve seen the A’s face the Giants, they’ve gotten a total of three hits. Maybe next year we skip the series.

But then a lot of the fun would go away. In our section (225), there was a lot of good-natured teasing among the fans, about championships won and lefties overpaid (our side), the pending move (their side — an orange and black “LET’S GO FREMONT” sign rubbed it in pretty good), and steroids (both sides.) It was all pretty good fun, except when the game ended and one Giants fan held up a discarded broom with his middle finger extended from it. At least one of those in every Giants crowd.
